What happened to Benton yesterday?

As I was watching the Majority Coalition Caucus sell out the GOP yesterday as citizens were shoved aside in favor of illegal aliens and the GOP once again caved to the democrats, I was waiting for Sen. Don Benton to stand up and rain fire and brimstone upon those who would engage in this rank stupidity.

I was waiting to see the man grab the microphone and condemn those who would screw the middle class once again by going along with the democrats, once again, as they engaged in worthless political expedience.... once again... in a forlorn hope that it would equate to more votes this November.

Instead?

Silence. And then I found out he had arranged to have himself be counted as excused along with 3 of his closest political allies.

Not that he couldn't have voted, you understand... but that he didn't want to.

Words of Wisdom

"No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth."

Plato

"This country has shed more blood for the freedom of other people than all the other nations in the history of the world combined, and I'm tired of people feeling like they've got to apologize for America."

Sen. Fred Thompson (R-TN)

“In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

George Orwell, the author of 1984

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

Dr. Martin Luther King

"Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom."

Alexis de Tocqueville

"A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example."Niccolo Machiavelli

“Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
